Why this edition

Foreign investors, law firms, compliance teams, and researchers frequently need the current English text of Korean securities-disclosure rules, but the official English translation stopped at 2022. This edition closes that gap: it reflects the Korean text as enforced on June 30, 2026, so you can rely on it as a current-state reference. It was prepared and reviewed by H&S Partners, a licensed Korean law office.
